East Ridge Animal Shelter

News

EAST RIDGE ANIMAL SERVICES IS NOW A "NO KILL" ANIMAL SHELTER!

In most cases, when you come to ERAS and find a new family member, your new pet will be ready to go straight home and begin his/ her new life with your family with no obligation on you to take your adopted friend for the required surgery. This may vary from time to time in respect to puppies and kittens; however, these animals will receive a certificate to cover the spay/neuter and rabies vaccine.

Adopting A Friend

When choosing a new furry family member, please consider adopting from your local shelter. East Ridge Animal Services welcomes you to come by our shelter and visit with our animals. If you find a pet on-line that interests you, please feel free to call our office with any questions you may have, or simply come see us at East Ridge Animal Shelter!

All of our adoptable animals have received initial vaccinations. In most cases, our available pets have also been spayed/ neutered and vaccinated against rabies, as well.
